Question

Use the distributive property to simplify the expression below:

-5x + 20 Divided by -5

Answer 1

Do each term seperately.\[\frac{ -5x + 20 }{ -5 } = \frac{ -5x }{ -5 } + \frac{ 20 }{ -5 }\]-5x divided by -5 = 1x or x
20 divided by -5 is -4.

So the simplified form of the expression is x - 4.
